The Bad Lip Reading Video of Trump's Inauguration Has Arrived

Life in the Trump Era continues to, well, let's just say ... fascinate. In today's scan of (mostly) Trump-dominated news, Quartz's Ana Campoy looks at the president's border wall announcement through the prism of his lifelong obsession with dealmaking, while Bloomberg considers what it will actually take to build it (spoiler: lots of documented labor, which is in short supply). And while BuzzFeed hopes to make sense of the Trump-media symbiosis with an intriguing new hire, the Bad Lip Reading channel offers its entirely logical take on Inauguration Day.

3. Speaking of the wall, Lauren Etter and Shannon Petty of Bloomberg News are out with a piece titled "Trump Wants to Build a Wall. Finding Workers Won't Be Easy."A labor shortage in the border area, they report, "has left few hands to build houses and factories in the region, where wages have already been rising and projects delayed. Now, the president's plan for 'immediate construction of a border wall' will force the government to find legal builders for a project that could employ thousands if not tens of thousands. About half of construction workers in Texas are undocumented..."

Well, gosh, this is interesting: In a New York Times piece headlined "Peter Thiel, Trump Adviser, Has a Backup Country: New Zealand," David Streitfeld and Jacqueline Williams report that the billionaire PayPal cofounder and Gawker killer quietly secured New Zealand citizenship in 2011 and no one knows how or why (and Thiel ain't talking). Per the Times story: "If you like New Zealand enough to want to become a citizen, the country's Internal Affairs Department noted on Wednesday, one requirement is 'to have been physically in New Zealand for a minimum of 1,350 days in the five years preceding the citizenship application.' Another requirement is that you 'continue to reside' there after becoming a citizen. Mr. Thiel, 49, does not appear to have done either."

That speech was a home run. That speech, if you look at Fox, OK, I'll mention you -- we see what Fox said. They said it was one of the great speeches. They showed the people applauding and screaming and -- and they were all CIA. There was -- somebody was asking Sean -- "Well, were they Trump people that were put--" we don't have Trump people. They were CIA people.

That location was given to me. Mike Pence went up before me, paid great homage to the wall. I then went up, paid great homage to the wall. I then spoke to the crowd. I got a standing ovation. In fact, they said it was the biggest standing ovation since Peyton Manning had won the Super Bowl and they said it was equal. I got a standing ovation. It lasted for a long period of time. What you do is take -- take out your tape -- you probably ran it live. I know when I do good speeches. I know when I do bad speeches. That speech was a total home run. They loved it. I could've ...

7. And finally, late last night the beloved Bad Lip Reading channel on YouTube released "Inauguration Day" and it's already No. 1 on YouTube's Trending chart. For those of you confused by what went on last Friday, well, this might help you understand.
